Birchbox - The March boxes

[KatiebuglovesBB]

MY BOX FINALLY ARRIVED! Box 10 and I love it! (please don't mind the weird assortment of other things around the box like the spoon haha):



I got the EXACT color polish i wanted (and i'm actually wearing the shirt today that i wanted to pair it with!) I was super excited to see the size of the One Love Balm-very generous. I was also excited to get all three flavors of tea as i thought i was just getting one. ALSO excited that the Sun screen wipes were so big (i am trading these with someone from this blog for the Apothoderm Stretch Mark cream and I was worried they'd be tiny little wipes.) Finally, I was very excited (just full of excitement today) to find that my perfume didn't shatter like some have said, BUT the spray doesn't work. I can pump it all day and NOTHING, so i think i will email Birchbox for another, if possible, because it is such a pretty scent.

As you can see, i love my box and will love it even more when i get the stretch mark cream because i wanted that most! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So excited that I'm getting a free TV box because I signed up for one and got sent a regular March box! <3 u birchie, great customer service! I am a bit confused, because I thought they were telling people they were out of them...I wonder if people's "bonus" boxes will have different stuff. Either way, I definitely can't complain!

Just checked my tracking on my March BB, and ummmm...It went from NJ to MA, and back to NJ? That's the progress it made over 3 days? I live in MN, and it's projected delivery date is tomorrow. T____T I feel like it might not get to me...

The Orofluido is AMAZING.  I need to buy it too.

Dark red's my fav color too.  I'm pretty much obsessed with red.  My car's getting repainted in the next couple of months, I think I'm going to ask for dark red. HAHA.  I've got a ton of red nail polish too...and a ton of other colors.lol.

I have never received a sample of the Orofluido, I want to try it... everyone keeps raving about how good it is. I am thinking I might just break down and buy it since I need a hair oil anyway, and I already have like $250 worth of products in my basket on my BB account...

Waiting to use my 6 month coupon code/BB points!

finally received my today, excited for the first time to try everything in my box. I loved how big the samples were.

My phone is dead so i had to use my laptop sorry about the backward words on the products.

Mine says the exact same thing!  I am not expecting it to get to me by tomorrow, but as long as it tracks everyday I am not too worried.  This is the longest I have had to wait though.

Hahah, that's awesome. Two boxes

Did anyone else get this e-mail too?

Why does everyone think your first box is a "sucky welcome box?"  Mine definitely wasn't.  I got my first box last month and I don't remember the box #, but it had a beautyblender, Violent Lips, Jouer moisture tint, Orofluido and the nail file.  So I wouldn't always assume your first box will be crappy 

For me, my first box is kind of sucky compared to the regular boxes being sent out this month. I would have rather have had a March box than the box of February leftovers, but it's alright. I wanted everything in the March one, but the Feb stuff I could live without, so it's disappointing to get that instead of what the box is this month. 

But I'll still end up using everything, and I don't totally hate it all.

My first box was HORRIBLE! It was last month and i got the drag queen eyeliners, a .17 oz sample of blemish serum, a .1 oz sample of moisturizer, a perfume sample, and gross chocolate. 

I got over it, reviewed my stuff for 50 points, and realized that even the horrible boxes are worth what I'm paying for them. Once I cash in $5 worth of points every month, and you factor in the free month for subscribing yearly, I'm basically paying $4 per box. I'm totally cool with that (but reserve the right to make fun of any sucktastic boxes that come my way in the future /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

 

[hindsighting]

I got box 14 and it's the first box I've been really disappointed in /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> the buffing beads were like sandpaper on my skin (and I don't have sensitive skin at all!), the body wash is far too manly smelling for me, I'll never use the massage oil, and the skin balm is way too thick for my skin. I haven't tried the curl cream yet, though I usually wear my hair straight don't have a problem with frizz. At least I like the nail polish color I got!

 

[missionista]

My box finally came!  I think BB must be doing some serious magic--I was kind of neutral on the box when I saw the contents online, but in person, I am so excited!  I got box #8 (I think), and can't wait to test out the moisturizer, dry shampoo, tea and sunscreen wipes.  I already have a trade lined up for the two items that just will not work for me (the stretch mark cream and the non-neon nail polish).  Love BB!  Love the trade board too!

How does a person get that super pink Birchbox?

Is it because they have been with Birchbox for a year?

 

[ladybritt]

Still no box for me

  It has also been in NJ since the 12th and had a projected delivery date of yesterday....I e mailed them, so hopefully I get a response. I had to peek and I got box #3, I think I will be pretty happy with it except the perfume sample unless it is really subtle/natural smelling. I only use essential oils or natural body sprays for the most part. I LOVE those hair ties, I have a lot of hair and after getting one (maybe a different brand?, but same concept) in a previous BB I used some points and got 2 packs of them. They are the best.

 

[winkiepup]

I got the same box! I haven't used the perfume yet, but it's pretty subtle - a light, crisp fruity scent slightly reminiscent of fresh soap. I'm not too good describing perfumes, but it reminds me of spring days and fresh laundry, with a hint of fruit. If that helps at all. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks for letting me know! That actually sounds like I will like it

Here's hoping I get my box tomorrow!

My box says it's in NJ too (since March 9!?) and was supposed to be delivered 2 days ago. And I'm in the southwest. =(

Buuut, upon further investigation, UPS transferred it to the US Postal Service so I put in my tracking # on the USPS website and it's here in town. Yay! So maybe NJ is where UPS transfers the packages over to the USPS, and you should try your tracking number at the USPS website (https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action)?
